Description
A project manager must not only master methods and processes, but also have the ability to deal with new, unexpected and critical situations. The book deals with these challenges, the passion for projects and the creativity which is required in order to lead projects and bring them to a successful conclusion. Experienced project managers report on exciting tasks in various countries, daily life as project managers and about their personal experiences and learning effects.
Readers will experience the fascinating appeal of the job of a "project manager", which also means constantly being prepared to get into a new task. Furthermore, the book provides ideas about how to overcome social, cultural, organisational, financial, bureaucratic or other hurdles.
Not only classic project managers - engineers and economists -, but also lawyers or industrial engineers, who work in projects or are interested in project work, will be inspired by this book, how personal commitment and professional, organisational and social capabilities combine to form this unique profession.
Ein Projektleiter muss nicht nur Methoden und Prozesse beherrschen, sondern darüber hinaus eine hohe Kompetenz im Umgang mit unerwarteten, neuen und kritischen Situationen besitzen.
Über diese Herausforderungen geht es in diesem Buch: über die Lust am Projekt und die Kreativität, die nötig ist, um Projekte zu führen und zu einem guten Abschluss zu bringen. Erfahrene Projektmanager berichten von spannenden Aufgaben in verschiedensten Ländern, aus ihrem täglichen Leben als Projektmanager und über ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen und Lerneffekte.
Leser erleben die Faszination des Berufsbilds "Projektmanager", das auch bedeutet, sich immer wieder auf neue Anforderungen einzulassen. Sie bekommen Ideen, wie menschliche, kulturelle, organisatorische, finanzielle, bürokratische oder andere Hürden überwunden werden können.
Nicht nur die klassischen Projektmanager - Ingenieure und Kaufleute -, sondern auch Juristen oder Wirtschaftsingenieure, die in Projekten arbeiten oder sich für die Projektarbeit interessieren, erhalten mit diesem Buch Inspiration, wie sich persönliches Engagement und fachliche, organisatorische und soziale Kompetenzen zu einem einzigartigen Beruf verbinden lassen.
